Twitter: Jason Hatcher not confident about playing Sunday...Ware practiced

Hatch says stinger better but really bothering him. Seriously wondering if he can play. Doesn't know what to expect from it.

Rowan Kavner ‏@KavnerDC 3m
He said he couldn't really lift his arm after the game, but he'll try his best to be ready and it would take a lot to keep him out

Brandon George ‏@DMN_George 2m
Jason Hatcher not confident he'll be able to play Sunday. Still hasn't regained the strength in his left arm.
Jason Hatcher can't raise his left arm above shoulder level. He tried in the locker room and his arm started shaking.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 7m
Dez said "damn right" when asked if he was playing Sunday. He missed practice with a tight back.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 8m
Morris Claiborne (hamstring) won't play Sunday but expects to be back after the bye week.

DeMarcus Ware practicing, wearing full pads.

Ugh. Gain one, possibly lose one.

I expect Hatcher will be there on Sunday.

 

[RoboQB]

Well, crap!

 

[Tobal]

Inside pressure is really tough on Brees (as with most QB's) I sure hope he can go.

 

[Future]

Ugh. Gain one, possibly lose one.

I expect Hatcher will be there on Sunday.

I do too, especially with the bye coming up the week after.

 

[Zordon]

for God's sakes how many defenders have to go down before the offense feels some guilt and steps up to carry the team?

 

[cowboys1981]

I hope he plays. It would be nice to have him and Ware both out there.

 

[AbeBeta]

Gotta worry about Hatcher being injured -- don't know that you can even take an injection in that area and still play

 

[Idgit]

Betcha a dollar Hatcher plays.

Betcha a dollar Hatcher plays.

Why? You think it's a ruse that Hatcher is pulling?

 

[XDez88BeastX]

Crap, welp. I hope Wynn, Nevis & Dawkins got their A+ game ready cuz we need pressure. Stupid Marvin Austin with his Stupid back problems, I thought he was going to be Marinelli's next Diamond

 

[Plankton]

Betcha a dollar Hatcher plays.

I bet he does as well, but the bigger question is how effective he will be?

Inside pressure is the key to disrupting Brees. Without Hatcher, I don't know where that inside pressure comes from.

 

[The Natural]

Dez' back is a bit of a concern to me, not Sunday, but because it seems to be on the injury report every week. Maybe the team should look to get him into some physical therapy this offseason.

 

[Idgit]

Why? You think it's a ruse that Hatcher is pulling?

Well, I *hope* it's a ruse. But, yeah, it seems more likely he'd be downplaying the stinger so they'd assume he'd be in the lineup if he were really hurting enough not to play, doesn't it? I say that mostly because a stinger that you played with the week before is the sort of thing you just expect a guy to play through if he possibly can, so saying he might not just sounds like sandbagging.

Then again, it's Hatcher. He's a dude that pretty much says what he thinks.

I'm starting to sound like The Sicilian from The Princess Bride, aren't I?

I never saw that movie, but, if Hatcher is really hurt, he just might not play. I mean, with the way things have gone, it's his turn to the ER.

 

[MartinRamone]

Hatcher better play, he has been our D Line. Rather have him over Ware at this point.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

It's Wednesday and he can't lift his arm without shaking. It doesn't sound good. This defense can't catch a break.

 

[Corso]

That there was good, right there.

Uhhh not being able to raise your arm above shoulder level isn't just a stinger, did they not get this guy an MRI?

He could tough it out this sunday I guess, but it'd be a pretty dumb move if he ends up fully tearing his rotator cuff/labrum in the process.
